BACKGROUND Typical solutions for improving discharge planning often rely on one-way communication mechanisms, static data entry into the electronic health record (EHR), or in-person meetings. Applying robust user-centered design, we have created a dynamic EHR discharge readiness tool, allowing the care team to communicate the status of patient discharge readiness and patient discharge needs in real-time across hospital settings. OBJECTIVE Applying robust user-centered design strategies, design an innovative EHR-based discharge communication tool. METHODS We employed multiple user-centered design strategies, including exploring the current state for documenting discharge readiness and directing discharge planning, iterative low-fidelity prototypes, multi-disciplinary stakeholder meetings, Brainwriting Premortem exercise, and pre-production user testing. We iteratively collected feedback from users via meetings and surveys. RESULTS We conducted 28 meetings with 20 different stakeholder groups. From these stakeholder meetings, we developed 14 low fidelity prototypes prior to deploying the Discharge Today tool for our pilot study. During the pilot study, stakeholders requested 46 modifications, 54% successfully executed. We found most providers who responded to the survey reported that the tool either saved time or did not change the amount time required to complete their discharge workflow (21, 87.5%). Responses to open-ended questions offered both positive feedback and opportunities for improvement in the domains of efficiency, integration into workflow, redundancies avoided, expedited communication, and patient-centeredness. CONCLUSIONS Survey data suggest that this electronic discharge readiness tool has been successfully adopted by providers and clinical staff. Frequent stakeholder engagement and iterative user-centered design was critical to the successful implementation of this tool. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable

In the last decade, there have been a shocking number of police killings of unarmed African Americans, and advancements in technology have made these incidents more visible to the general public. The increasing public awareness of police brutality in African American communities creates a critical and urgent need to understand and improve police-community relationships. Congregational social workers (and other social workers who are part of religious congregations) have a potentially significant role in addressing the problem of police brutality. This manuscript explores and describes possible contributions by social workers, with differential consideration for those in predominantly Black or White congregations.
